Surge Protection

Protect Your Home or Business from Electrical Surges

Electrical surges are sudden spikes in voltage that can occur for many reasons such as lightning strikes, faulty wiring, power grid fluctuations, or even large appliances turning on and off. While brief, these surges can cause significant damage to electronics, shorten the life of appliances and create safety risks.

Fraser Electrical provides professional surge protection solutions to prevent this damage before it happens. We install quality surge devices that detect and divert excess voltage away from your wiring, keeping your home or business safe, compliant and operational during unpredictable power events.

Types of Surge Protection Devices

We supply and install a range of surge protection devices designed to suit the unique needs of homes, offices and industrial facilities across the Central Coast.

Whole-Property Surge Protection

Installed at your switchboard, this provides complete protection for your entire electrical system. Whole-house surge protection safeguards all appliances, from air conditioners and fridges to computers and TVs, against surges caused by lightning, grid faults, or nearby electrical work.

Plug-In and Point-of-Use Surge Protectors

These devices offer targeted protection for sensitive or high-value electronics such as computers, TVs and audio-visual systems. They act as a second line of defence, ideal for offices and homes with expensive or delicate equipment.

Power Conditioning and Industrial Solutions

For commercial and industrial sites, we offer power conditioning systems that stabilise voltage and protect machinery, automation systems and data infrastructure from repeated fluctuations and surges. These solutions are ideal for facilities with sensitive or high-demand electrical equipment.

Benefits & Importance

Benefits and Importance of Surge Protection

Surge protection is not mandatory for every property, but it is required in certain cases under the AS/NZS 3000:2018 Wiring Rules. The standard specifies that surge protection devices must be installed where there is a risk of:

  • Serious injury or loss of life caused by overvoltage events
  • Significant financial loss, data loss, or interruption to essential services
  • High exposure to lightning activity or unstable power supply

For all other homes, businesses and developments, surge protection is strongly recommended as a preventive safety measure. It is a practical and affordable way to protect electrical systems, prevent costly repairs and improve the overall reliability of your power supply.

Key benefits include:

  • Prevents costly damage: Protects valuable appliances, computers and electronic equipment from voltage spikes.
  • Improves safety: Lowers the risk of electrical fires or wiring faults caused by surge damage.
  • Reduces downtime: Keeps your household or business operating smoothly after storms or power disturbances.
  • Extends equipment lifespan: Protects against gradual wear caused by minor, repeated surges.
  • Supports compliance: Helps meet Australian Standards and network guidelines in high-risk or sensitive environments.

Whether for a home, business, or development project, professionally installed surge protection from Fraser Electrical provides peace of mind, better safety and long-term reliability for your electrical system.
